I don't wanna read the news I tell you it's true It just gives me the blues So I think about you It's nothing new What do you want me to do Shadows chase me every Time I drive by My mind is racing and I don't know why I'm a wreck I'm a wreck I'm a wreck and I'm Up to my neck I don't wanna get up Mor...

Jim, I think this song was a standout. My first thought upon hearing it was that it deserved to win. Nice work.

Brace Yourself - Jeff DeSantis We can’t live forever Not the way that we're made we're as strong as the next guy But we're designed to degrade 6 out of 10 of us are broken Like it’s part of the plan One out 4 of us ain’t wired right But we do the best that we can And our cover stories Are just bits ...

If these walls could talk They would tell you to fuck off Take what you brought You know what is mine Leave my blue sweatshirt and the keys behind And don’t take your time Rip the bandage off and I’ll tear mine I’ve been alone And I know how it feels I can get used to it again. But I stay where I’ve...

You said you loved me Just like a brother I told you one thing And meant another I read the signs And took off running I had it coming I had it coming I lost the gamble I can feel it Leave it open Someone can steal it Add up the numbers I’m down a dozen I had it coming I had it coming Oh, let the re...

I really enjoyed reading this thread and learning more about the history of this place. I came here in (I think) 2009 after a FAWMer recommended it. FAWM feedback is so intentionally positive as to be absolutely unhelpful, and this place... let's say it's NOT that. :D I think I'm basically a lurker ...

I threw back about three shots Threw up in the tee box Put on my old Ramones t shirt And now I’m ready to play I’m out on the fairway But I won’t do it their way The new me is gone and The old me is back to stay I’m a punk and I know it And it’s high time I show it Twenty years dodging land mines Tw...

Thanks! A pleasant surprise this morning.

So if you write a tune with a I - iii - chromatic slide to ii, it's automatically Blue Velvet, and the arrangement ahould reflect that.

Got it.

I never post reviews on fights, but this time I wanted to. Berkeley Social Scene's and WreckdoM's tunes have a really solid imaginative quirkiness to which I aspire.

Jerkatorium's tune is probably the most listenable song I've ever heard on this site. I dug it from the first downbeat.

Digging the newest Decemberists album.

I did FAWM a couple of times and I saw that some of the folks there are participants here.

I have an iPhone. So daily, if not more.

Here are my picks. I'm too new a user to be allowed to post links, but they are easily searchable on YouTube. I picked songs that I'd always thought of covering live.


Pixies - Monkey Gone To Heaven
Cyndi Lauper - Money Changes Everything
Faith No More - Epic
Spinal Tap - Big Bottom

I've been wanting to get in on this since last year. Song choices to follow soon, if it's not too late.
